A neatly dressed woman was found shot in the head yesterday on a road leading into the golf course in Forest Park in Queens, police said.

The victim, who was not identified but is believed to have been about 40 years old, was discovered by two passers-by about 11 a.m., lying in a pool of blood along Forest Parkway near the golf course.

Police Inspector Francis Smith said the passers-by ran to a nearby park building and dialed 911 for an ambulance. Paramedics arrived within minutes and took the victim to Jamaica Hospital, where she was declared dead a short time later.

The woman was described as a white or light-skinned Hispanic, about 5-foot-4 and 140 pounds, with shoulder-length brown hair. She was wearing jewelry and a three-quarter-length brown skirt, brown sweater-jacket and brown boots.

Police ask anyone with information about the woman’s identity or her death to call (718) 805-3212 or (800) 577-TIPS. All calls will be kept confidential.
